My wee man is over 5 weeks old and it feels like he is always hungry. I feed on demand as per health visitor but sometimes I feel like I may be over feed him. He’ll get 4 ounces of milk 7-8 times a day. When I tell other mothers this they are surprised he eats so much which confuses me? What does /did everyone else feed their wee babas at this stage being a newborn?
 
My girl (4 weeks) is about the same, she has 100-120mls 7-8 times a day. And has been taking that much for nearly a week now. We’ve had enhanced care from midwives, so she’s been checked and weighed every few days and they are very happy with her weight and development.
 
If he's drinking it all maybe up an oz x
